- time and time again
|
|
- time is of the essence
|
|
- tip of the iceberg
|
|
- tired but happy
|
|
- to coin a phrase
|
|
- to each his own
|
|
- to make a long story short
|
|
- to the best of my knowledge
|
|
- toe the line
|
|
- tongue in cheek
|
|
- too good to be true
|
|
- too hot to handle
|
|
- too numerous to mention
|
|
- touch with a ten foot pole
|
|
- tough as nails
|
|
- trial and error
|
|
- trials and tribulations
|
|
- tried and true
|
|
- trip down memory lane
|
|
- twist of fate
|
|
- two cents worth
|
|
- two peas in a pod
|
|
- ugly as sin
|
|
- under the counter
|
|
- under the gun
|
|
- under the same roof
|
|
- under the weather
|
|
- until the cows come home
|
|
- unvarnished truth
|
|
- up the creek
|
|
- uphill battle
|
|
- upper crust
|
|
- upset the applecart
|
|
- vain attempt
|
|
- vain effort
|
|
- vanquish the enemy
|
|
- vested interest
|
|
- waiting for the other shoe to drop
|
|
- wakeup call
|
|
- warm welcome
|
|
- watch your p's and q's
|
|
- watch your tongue
|
|
- watching the clock
|
|
- water under the bridge
|
|
- weather the storm
|
|
- weed them out
|
|
- week of Sundays
|
|
- went belly up
|
|
- wet behind the ears
|
|
- what goes around comes around
|
|
- what you see is what you get
|
|
- when it rains, it pours
|
|
- when push comes to shove
|
|
- when the cat's away
|
|
- when the going gets tough, the tough get going
|
|
- white as a sheet
|
|
- whole ball of wax
|
|
- whole hog
|
|
- whole nine yards
|
|
- wild goose chase
|
|
- will wonders never cease?
|
|
- wisdom of the ages
|
|
- wise as an owl
|
|
- wolf at the door
|
|
- words fail me
|
|
- work like a dog
|
|
- world weary
|
|
- worst nightmare
|
|
- worth its weight in gold
|
|
- wrong side of the bed
|
|
- yanking your chain
|
|
- yappy as a dog
|
|
- years young
|
|
- you are what you eat
|
|
- you can run but you can't hide
|
|
- you only live once
|
|
- you're the boss
|
|
- young and foolish
|
|
- young and vibrant
